pumpkin muffins redux

Hi Casey! I think the problem with the pumpkin muffins is not enough
'wet' ingredients and too much dry. I usually bake with loose directions
and go with what looks right. Next time try adding some applesauce to the
batter till it is less dense, adjust the timing and it should be better,
more moist & less chewy. HTH, bk
----------------------
I got the following recipe from the archives and was really disappointed
with it. It wasn't exactly dry, but it was very tough and chewy. You
could
really taste the "fatfree" in it. Any suggestions on how to make it
better?
Or any pumpkin muffins that are really good?
